Topic: [2008] - Spykee Robot (Read 6065 times)

Meccano is all set to unveil a WiFi-controlled, Erector-branded robot kit. The Spyke certainly improves on Meccano's earlier metallic attempts at robot sets: this little fella is capable of feeding a webcam video stream to a PC over the aforementioned wireless connection, as well as climbing stairs with its triangular tank-track; that's right parents, your staircase can no longer keep your kids safe.

These basic specs combined with the teaser image, above, should be enough to perk up the ears of all the consumer robot enthusiasts out there.

It doesn't look very meccano-isch, I mean it's just a plastic toy.Too bad because I like fully modifyable stuff...

But it looks cool though, I suspect many robotics hobbyists will buy one to mod it.It has potential with that wifi already built in, because you can probably mod it to use that wifi for your own modifications too.
